A MAHER OF OPINION
By Denny McClung
I thought they were as
■D good as engaged,” Gus
Wheeler was saying. “Leastways,
that’s what I been bearin’ for the
past month or so.”
Scowling, Eoin Feeney packed
his stubby pipe. “Not by a long
shot, they ain’t. Not so long as I
got any say in my own home.’’
“Well, what’re you holdin’ again’
the boy?” Gus asked. “Far as I
know, he’s one of the finest boys
in the country. A real comer, they
say.”
“I don’t gainsay your word,”
Eoin said. He applied a match to
the pipe and puffed furiously until
it w&i fcRfiTiiKg to his satisfaction.
“But that ain’t the thing of it.”
“That ain’t it? Feeney, it 'peers
to me you’re a mite hard to under
stand.”
“Mebbe so—rmebbe so. But I
don’t see as how my Norrie’s got
any business marryin’ up with a
lawyer. No sir, if farmin’s good
enough for me, and my Pa before
me, what does she want to go
marryin’ up with a lawyer feller.
It ain’t right, I say.”
“Why not?” Gus asked. “Seems
to me how that’s up to Norrie and
Davy.”
“I ain’t got nothin’ again’ Davy
personally.” Eoin said. “But fo$
the life o’ me, I can’t take to what
he’s gone and done. Why, his Pa
was one of the best farmers in
this section; and if farmin’ was
good enough for old man Walsh,
why weren’t it good enough for
Davy? But look at him. goin’ and
gettin’ himself educated so’s he
can be a lawyer.”
“You’re just getiin’ old and set
in your ways,” Gus said. “Ain’t
nothin’ wrong with what the boy
did. Maybe everybody don’t like
farmin’ the way you do. I say the
boy’s got a right to be what he
wants.”
Gus Wheeler mournfully shook
his head as Eoin picked up his
box of groceries and left the store.
Three weeks later. Eoin Feeney
was in the store once again, puffing
his stubby pipe at a jaunty angle,
a satisfied smile on his seamed
and craggy face.
“Howdy, Eoin,” Gus said. “Hear
tell you been havin’ a little land
trouble. You and Cam Slaughter.
Course it ain’t hard for anybody
to have trouble with him, seems
like that’s one man just about no
body can get along with.”
“Danged if you ain’t right, Gus.
That Cam Slaughter’s crooked as a
bent nail. You know what that fel
ler did? Well, it seems like he was
over at the county seat snoopin’
around the court house and he run
across somethin’ in the land books
—somethin’ that gave him the no
tion he could twist around a few
legal comers and grab part of my
land that joins him. The northern
acreage, it was; my best pasture
field. But I guess we showed him;
yes sir, I guess we sure did.”
“What’d you do about it?” Gus
asked.
“Well sir, it kind o* had me
stumped. And that’s when Norrie
started workin’ on me. Finally got
so I couldn’t stand to listen to an
other word from her. So she packed
me in to see Davy.
“Well, Davy listens to what I got
to say and then runs over to the
county seat for a look at the land
books. A few days iater, he goes
into the magistrate’s court and
proves that Slaughter was just try-
in’ to take advantage of a legal
technicality; proves that Slaughter
ain’t got no right at all to that
pasture land.”
“Well,” Gus said, “looks kind of
like you got your comeuppance
this time, after all that big talk
again’ Davy learn’ to be a lawyer.”
“Yes sir,” Eoin said, “much as
I hate to admit it, I guess I did.
That Davy’s a right clever boy.v
After what he done for me, I
guess I ain’t got no rightful com
plaint again’ him and Norrie gettin’
married. I guess mebbe I’m goin’
to be right proud to have that boy
in the family.”

FEEDING GARBAGE
REQUIRES PERMIT
COLUMIBIA, April 11—Persons
in this state who feed garbage to
hogs should get permits. These
permits may be obtained by apply
ing to the Clemson College Live
stock Sanitary Department or to
county agricultural agents.
Dr. M. D. Farrar, dean, Clem
son School of Agriculture, says the
securing of permits is required un
der the terms of Senate Bill No.
519, an Act Regulating the Feed
ing of Garbage to Swine, recently
enacted by the General Assembly
of South Carolina. This act, which
was signed by Governor Byrnes on
March 24, becomes effective with
in 30 days.
The act, which requires any gar
bage, regardless of previous pro
cessing, fed to swine to be heated
to 212 degrees F. (boiling) for at
least 30 minutes, also prohibits the
feeding of swine from a garbage
dump. There is no cost attached to
securing the permits.
Dr. R. W. Carter, director, State
Federal Livestock Disease Eradi
cation Program, explains that the
above law will aid materially in
the control of vesicular exanthema,
hog and trichina infections of hu
man beings.

lable Radio Offers Console Quality
To Families in Small Living Quarters
BT EDNA MILES
TF yours is a small apartment,
chances are you’d like to own
a small radio with the resonant
and wide-range tone quality
usually associated with console
receivers.
Such a radio is now on the
market. This table radio cancels
out a great deal of distortion and
hum normally found in radios of
this size.
But it’s through the method of
mounting the six-inch speaker
that a completely new sound has
been achieved in this new radio.
The speaker is fronted only
by an open-mesh grille, allowing
free passage of sound (without
bounce) back into the cabinet
In addition, the speaker has
lower than usual resonance to
bolster the bass frequency out
put which is lacking in many
small radios. .
The radio also has been
equipped with a tuned radio fre
quency amplifier, an improve
ment most often found in larger
and more expensive sets. This
amplifier increases selectivity
and sensitivity, cuts down on
noise and interference.
And to take full advantage of
the improved tone, the set has a
phono-jack to which a record
player may be attached.
This teen-ager is taking ad
vantage of the phono-jack on a
new table-model radio to play
her favorite recordst
